Very soon, Zhang Xing and Bai Feng became as close as friends.
Wu Xuan and the others looked back from time to time, and all of them had envious expressions.
The young mistress was usually chatting and laughing with them, but she had never been so cheerful before.
Zhang Xing was just a stranger, but the young mistress treated him like her own little brother, and this made the guards jealous and curious.
Before they knew it, it was already noon, and they found a small hill to land on.
The guards split into three groups and began to stand guard, and the other members of the entourage also began to get busy. Some were feeding the griffins, while others were cooking.
"Little Brother Zhang Xing, this is the border of the Wolf Valley Basin. Although there aren't many Fiend Beasts here, there are bandits running rampant, and they specialize in robbing caravans.
"But don't worry, our White Phoenix Pavilion still has a certain level of prestige in this area, and those bandits will give us some face and won't dare to act rashly."
Bai Feng finally found someone with common interests to chat with, and she couldn't stop talking once she started.
"Oh?
Big Sister Bai Feng, are you saying that those bandits have suffered in your hands before, and are afraid of you? "
Zhang Xing followed the topic and asked.
The two of them chatted for the entire morning, and they felt like they had endless things to talk about, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Naturally, they began to refer to each other as brother and sister.
"Little Brother, you're quite smart to be able to discern the meaning in my words so quickly. You look like a veteran!"
Bai Feng giggled. She was becoming more and more fond of this smart, sunny, and charismatic big boy.
"Big Sister is also more intelligent than ordinary people, and you're especially likable."
Zhang Xing praised again.
Bai Feng felt very comfortable listening to him.
Usually, those burly guards would be as shy as women when they spoke to her, and they would even hesitate and speak incoherently. How could they say such things that girls liked to hear?
Hence, Zhang Xing was especially amiable in her eyes.
An hour later, the aroma of roasted meat wafted over.
"Little Brother Zhang Xing, let's go and eat. Roasted Demonic Deer meat is very fragrant."
Bai Feng sniffed, and her big, sparkling eyes lit up as she spoke.
Zhang Xing did not stand on ceremony and followed Bai Feng to sit in the middle of the group.
Bai Feng personally cut off a small piece of Demon Deer meat for Zhang Xing. Just as she was about to pass it to him, she saw Zhang Xing frown and look up at the sky.
"There are a lot of people flying over here. All of them are rough and ferocious. Their killing intent soars to the sky. I'm afraid they don't have good intentions."
Zhang Xing muttered to himself. However, his words were still clearly heard by Bai Feng and the others.
Their expressions tensed up. They either turned their heads or looked up at the sky.
But after watching for almost a minute, no one appeared.
"Cough!
Who's there? "
"You scared me!"
"Brother Zhang Xing, are you hallucinating? Even if you are, don't say it out loud. You'll scare me to death."
"Alright, that's enough.
Zhang Xing is very vigilant. There's nothing wrong with that. "
Bai Feng could not bear to listen anymore. She stopped the others from mocking Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing did not mind. He knew that with their cultivation, it would take a while for them to notice the arrival of those people.
Sure enough, after the group had eaten for more than ten minutes, a small team in the sky that was responsible for keeping watch noticed something unusual. They hurriedly blew the alarm.
The more than four hundred people on the ground immediately tensed up.
They all took out their weapons. Their eyes shone with a cold light as they carefully guarded.
Soon, the roar of flying demonic beasts and the sound of objects rubbing against the air at high speed reached everyone's ears.
Black shadows appeared in all directions above the caravan at the same time.
